Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education

UBC Faculty of Education delivering a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) titled, Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education. This is a free 6-week online course that begins on September 29, 2015.

Participants will learn about Indigenous Education through the lens of reconciliation, and will engage with educational leaders and resources that provide direction for how education programs and teaching practices can be modified in order to meaningfully integrate Indigenous knowledge worldviews and pedagogies in classrooms, schools and communities.

We'd like to invite you and your colleagues and associates in Richmond School District to join us in an online information session on June 24. Learn more about this professional development opportunity and creating Communities of Practice engaged with the subject matter.

Please help us spread the word about this widely accessible learning opportunity with your colleagues and networks.
